PPPClient_Options - Settings

Global Tab

Show Client Window on Workstations Shows the log window to the end-user when running PPPClient. This is used mainly for troubleshooting.

Enable Detailed Logging of Client Activities Enables the PPPClient.exe to log to the workingdirectory/mem/logs/ folder all activities of the PPPClient.exe, including workstation name, user name, printers installation success/failure, etc.

Use Short Printer Names When Possible This setting is for Migrator / Mover / Converter Only. If checked the printers will be installed on the end user machine in "short" format instead of the full server name.
With it checked: printer on server
Without it checked: printer on server.subdomain.domain.com

Start-up Delay Time that PPPClient waits after being started before it begins to configure printers and make other changes.

Wait Time After Printer ChangesWhen a new printer is installed, PPPClient will notice the change and run again to configure the new printer. Adjust this time as necessary to allow the printer to finish installing completely before PPPClient attempts to make changes.

Check for Changes PPPClient will check for changes to the configuration files and will apply the new changes. For example: If you have the it set to 10 minutes and the change "use short printer names when possible" setting, PPPClient will know the change has been made in 10 minutes and start using short names.

* The default of "0" means the PPPClient will run at login and exit.

Distribute PPPClient Package Use this tool to send PPPClient and all necessary files to remote locations so they can run the client from a local server.

This option only applies to migrating legacy Netware queue printers.
